The reason no-one guessed where 4940 upwards are going correctly is you all presumed they were all going to the same garage.
4940~4949 BC
4950~4982 WB

33 for West Brom? Sounds like Soho Road's getting them!

That's because they are for Soho Rd


With 53 buses going to WB there are still 10 buses outstanding. 10 LWB E200's maybe?

I believe it was already stated here earlier that WB would get 10 short (8.9m) E200s and 10 long (10.7m) E200s.

Typical once again West Brum as if Harborne are lacking newer vehicles and investment (same old same old). Not even like those routes have much competition. Resource in same old same old. WTF is going on with this management. Invest is same areas and generate profits and make no investments in area where people have no &^^%$ choice. Makes me sooooooo angry.  I am glad about the WB soho rd ones though :).  Right back to work to have another argument over trading terms with a certain supermarket chain.

Thanks for clarifying that Nathan - really had no clue on the 24's operations. So some Tridents to be displaced then - maybe to WN to allow more Spectras to be withdrawn? The Tridents on the Soho Road at the moment I will assume shall be replacing the last of the Mercs at WB then.

Same old? Soho Road has exactly the same buses you complain about on the94

As mentioned above WB don't have any tridents :) They have ALX400 bodied Volvo B7TL's which is the same bodywork used on our tridents. Easy mistake to make though

I am well aware of that. I did say I am happy about the soho rd, my comment is more to do with allocation of resource and yet again the same area consistently getting the attention. However the Soho Road is a sign of them thinking outside the box for a change.

10 BC - 53 WB - 4 PB=67
Isn't there 33 outstanding buses still to come?

100 buses will be delivered by September.  I keep hearing talk of E200's coming to WN soon (To replace the mercs) but i don't know if its true although it seems likely

neither the total of 53 for WB or the 10 long E200s for WB is correct.

[pb2012]

Apologies then Tony. A member on here posted something about 53 buses going to WB

Sorry i meant currently left to come?

[Tony]

Apologies then Tony. Cheers for clarifying that. A member on here posted something about 53 buses going to WB

I also recall something posted on here a while back about 10X LWB E200s

Not disputing it has been posted on here, just clarifying that the figure is not correct

[pb2012]

Are the 10? E400 allocated to BC to replace 10 tridents going to dundee or have those plans now changed?

I told you the 24 needed new buses. I'm led to believe that management had to act fast to combat the threat posed by Discount Travel Solutions on the Harborne corridor.

If DTS is such a threat, then I'm going to eat a camera!

I was the first one to say the Enviros were for the 24, but everyone seems to have eluded that comment. It does make sense upgrading the 24 as the 22/23 has Hybrids and the 29/A has B7RLE
